Jin Jeong makes his way back to Sheshan International Golf Club for the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions.

Jeong tied for 18th a year ago, but his recent returns have not been good. He's missed 13 of his last 14 cuts across the globe, with an 82nd in Omega European Masters breaking the monotony. Perhaps nobody will enjoy the perks of a no-cut event more than he. Mon, Nov 3, 2014 07:51:00 PM

Jin Jeong tied for 14th place at the 2010 Open Championship and returns this week to take on Royal Liverpool.

Jeong earned the low-amateur tag in his Open debut, and this will be his first time returning to the event, this time as a professional. His recent form leaves a lot to be desired, missing the cut in his last six worldwide events. The 2010 British Amateur champion has shown flashes of brilliance, winning the Perth International in October of 2013 and finishing runner-up at this year's Joburg Open. The upside is there, but gamers should temper expectations this week as Jeong makes his second career Open Championship appearance. Wed, Jul 16, 2014 10:01:00 AM

For finishing in a tie for second place at the Joburg Open, Jin Jeong and Justin Walters have qualified for The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool.

The qualifier within the tournament at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Golf Club granted exemptions into the season's third major to the top three not already exempt. Champion George Coetzee earned the first berth, but a tiebreaker was required to determine the next two. England's Tyrrell Hatton also posted a T2, but was eliminated from consideration for having the worst Official World Golf Ranking at 276th. Walters entered the week slotted 207th; Jeong was 235th. Walters of South Africa will be making his debut in The Open while Jeong of South Korea returns after at T14 as an amateur at St. Andrews in 2010. Sun, Feb 9, 2014 01:20:00 PM

Jin Jeong is now exempt into the 2014 World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship for finishing second in the Order of Merit on the PGA Tour of Australasia.

The top two in earnings at the conclusion of the Emirates Australian Open are exempt into the no-cut tournament in March. The already-eligible Adam Scott ran away with the money title. Jeong made nine starts on the circuit. While he missed the cut in the season finale at Royal Sydney Golf Club to total four MCs on the docket, his win at the Perth Invitational provided the financial boost necessary to rise to No. 2 overall. He's made only one start in a WGC, finishing T18 at the HSBC Champions a month ago. Sun, Dec 1, 2013 01:22:00 AM
